LittleBigPlanet Canned For Fears of TERRORIST ATTACK

Ok, not really. But, Sony is apparently hyper-sensitive to the possibility of offending Muslims. Considering the response to the Muhammad cartoons, this may be a good call. They are an emotional bunch, ya know. (I kid, I kid.)
…it has been brought to our attention that one of the background music tracks licensed from a record label for use in the game contains two expressions that can be found in the Qur’an. - Patrick Seybold of SCEA
SlashGamer reassures us that the game has not been entirely canned but simply pushed back one week. Presumably, the lyrics will be edited or a new song will be inserted.
Seems to me the inclusion of phrases from the Qur’an would be good press for the religion. I guess Sony disagrees.
